About the Live Webinar
The mission of the "QPR Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention Training" is to save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing evidence-based suicide prevention training. Knowing how to address this sensitive issue can empower individuals to reach out and help someone in need. Just like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver have saved thousands of lives each year, learning to recognize the warning signs of suicide and the steps of Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) can save the life of a friend, coworker, family member, or neighbor.
Developed by the QPR Institute, this 2-hour training is designed for all people concerned about helping others with mental health and substance use challenges, regardless of their background. QPR is an emergency mental health intervention for persons considering suicide. Participants will learn skills to identify and interrupt a crisis and direct someone to proper care.
